Alabama players not watching film individually for Michigan preparation, Isaiah Bond says

Alabama players are not watching film individually in light of Michigan’s sign-stealing investigation, Isaiah Bond said on Thursday.

Alabama is not watching film individually this week in light of Michigan‘s sign-stealing investigation, wide receiver Isaiah Bond revealed during a media session on Thursday.

Bond said the Alabama coaching staff insisted players watch film and prepare in groups rather than on their own. The decision was made about a week before his media session.

“We’re able to watch film with the team, but like, personally, we can’t watch film,” Bond said. “Some reason with Michigan stealing signs, but I’m not really too keyed in on that.”

The Wolverines have been under investigation by the NCAA for the scandal for most of the season, with head coach Jim Harbaugh suspended from the sidelines for the final three games of the regular season.
